Improved Links?
« on: November 23, 2014, 09:09:04 pm »
So if I go to our ulyssesmod.net/downloads.php page, I'm shown the SVN links
Great, I know what those are.
However, it seems many of our folks here lately are newb acting, so, they click the link...poof, 404 error.
THEN, they click the "Release" links, and download our 1.5+ year old zip or exe and then come here reporting (as we'd likely expect) bugs.

Can we add, at perhaps the "Beta SVN" section, the link to the HTTP working pages to get our ZIPs from Github.

Click HERE if you're using a web browser and want our latest cutting edge beta bleeding code!
blah

Use SVN clients? Then HERE is the link you need to input;
blah

Just a late night thought. Off to bed soon I go.

One of the things I either brought up or meant to bring up in our meeting last time was having weekly or monthly builds.

It's true that not everyone is smart enough or willing to learn SVN, so I think having a packaged version of whatever is the latest build might not be a bad idea.

Hmm, this wouldn't be too hard to implement in an automated fashion. I'll take a look either tonight or tomorrow night.
